20120111122 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE PROPERTIES OF A PRESSURE-MANIPULABLE TEST SAMPLE - A method for determining the plasto-elastic properties of a test sample, which can be affected by the action of pressure, includes pressing a test body against a surface of the test sample with a defined force. Plasto-elastic changes of the surface resulting therefrom are recorded during and/or after the pressure application. A centrifugal force generated by rotating the test body around an axis is utilized as a pressure force which is generated by radially movably guiding the test body, which is disposed between the test sample and the axis, relative to the radially fixed test sample. | 05-10-2012 |
